This shouldn't have any real effect on the functionality. Anyway, here
is a follow up cleanup:

Subject: [PATCH] mm/mempolicy: do not duplicate policy if it is not applicable
 for set_mempolicy_home_node

set_mempolicy_home_node tries to duplicate a memory policy before
checking it whether it is applicable for the operation. There is
no real reason for doing that and it might actually be a pointless
memory allocation and deallocation exercise for MPOL_INTERLEAVE.

Not a big problem but we can do better. Simply check the policy before
acting on it.
